For those unable to invest the necessary funds for the 20-disc COMPLETE REPRISE box, THE REPRISE COLLECTION is an excellent representation of Sinatra's post-1960 work on the label he founded in the interest of furthering his artistic freedom. Sure, he had left the sweet-voiced Bing Crosby acolyte side of himself far behind by the 60's, but that only meant that his voice, wisdom and artistic well were all simultaneously deepened. Though he approached his songs from a more mature perspective, this period produced some of Sinatra's most outrageously swinging tunes, including "Summer Wind," "Fly Me To The Moon" and "Luck Be A Lady."
Sinatra had also begun to look back with wistful melancholy on his life, as on the introspective, moody "It Was A Very Good Year," "September Song" and "A Man Alone." This collection is spiced up by the inclusion of such relatively esoteric gems as Sinatra's collaborative efforts with Antonio Carlos Jobim, a move made possible by Sinatra's creative freedom with Reprise. There are irresistible pop hits like "Somethin' Stupid," his duet with daughter Nancy, and latter day classics like "Send In The Clowns." Overall, a fine representation of this crucial period in Sinatra's career.
Industry Reviews
Rated as one of the Top Ten Releases Of 1990.
Time Magazine (12/31/1990)
4.5 Stars - Excellent Plus ..are not only fine testaments to Sinatra's self-willed resilience but blissful examples of the undervalued side of the 1960s pop..
Rolling Stone (01/24/1991)
..the record of how one intelligent, willful, gifted sensualist with infinite resources for distraction felt the passage of time..
New York Times (12/31/1990)
..Whether swinging some golden oldie or dipping into that seemingly endless supply of ballads redolent of blue cigarette smoke and sipped bourbon, tailor-made for a sadder but wiser crooner, Sinatra carries on, above the fray, above the charts and, no doubt, above criticism..
